Hi Friends… This is Dr. Michael Williams… and welcome to another episode of the diversify in path podcast.This podcast explores how  investing in diversity  can lead to  a high return of investment in pathology and laboratory medicine by learning from the knowledge and experiences of  diverse voices within in our field. My next guest is Dr. Terri L Mason .Dr. Terri L.
